Apple Fritter Buttermilk Pancakes Recipes

BUTTERMILK PANCAKES WITH APPLE CRANBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or a hand mixer, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until pale yellow, frothy and doubled in volume, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter and cool to room temperature. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and blend until it becomes a smooth paste. Add in the melted butter. Use a rubber spatula to fold the beaten eggs into the batter. Hold the batter at room temperature until ready to cook.
• Heat a 14-inch skillet or griddle pan to medium-high heat. Place 1 tablespoon of the butter on the skillet and ladle out 2 ounces of the batter. When the top of the pancake starts to bubble, use a large metal spatula to flip, and then cook on the other side until brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat for the remaining batter, about 6 pancakes total, adding butter to the griddle before each pancake. Stack three pancakes on each plate and serve with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, confectioners' sugar, some maple syrup and the Apple Cranberry Compote.
• In a medium saucepot set over medium heat, add the cranberries, granulated sugar, honey, salt, apples, cinnamon, lemon juice and zest, and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, stir and continue cooking until the apples start to break down and the cranberries begin to pop, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve warm.

VERONICA'S APPLE PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine butter, egg, milk and apple. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon and sugar. Stir flour mixture into apple mixture, just until combined.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

APPLE FRITTER RINGS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep fryer or a heavy pot to 360°F.

• In another a bowl combine 2-1/2 cups flour, cornmeal, brown sugar, baking soda and salt.
• In another bowl whisk together buttermilk, water, eggs and vanilla.
• Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry mixture to form a lumpy batter.
• First dredge each apple ring into the bowl with the 1/2 cup flour; coat well on both sides, shaking off any excess flour.

• Fry about 2 minutes per side or until golden.

GLUTEN FREE APPLE FRITTER PANCAKES

Steps:

• Set griddle to 325 degrees. .
• In a medium sized bowl mix the dry ingredients: flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
• In a smaller bowl mix the wet ingredients: egg, buttermilk, oil and honey (or if using sugar put in with the dry ingredients).
• Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix well. It will be a thin batter.
• Oil the griddle and when oil is heated, pour pancakes onto griddle. Top with sliced apples and pecans, if using. With the back of spatula or your hand flatten the apples so they aren't poking out too tall- you want your batter to be able to touch the pan when you flip it, but also to be able to caramelize the apples. These are crumbly, so don't flip until the bottom is well browned.
• Flip. Brown the other side then remove to a plate and keep warm. These are delicious with maple syrup and an extra special treat with whip cream too.
